Religious people are more able to live in the present moment, they are able to better appreciate and savor the sweet moments in life. Possibly because they have "God" for support of the worries and stress. They relate the good things that happen in a day to "God".

We think that this quote that religious people acquire better coping mechanisms that prevent stressful situations from affecting their day-to-day lives. They see every good thing that happens to them as a "blessing" no matter how minor it may seem to someone else. Religious people are able to reduce stress by showing immediate appreciation for things they are thankful for, as opposed to non-religious people who may not stop and appreciate those little things, and instead only appreciate really big, more substantial things that happen to them.

We believe that religious people are generally more mindful of their feelings and on-goings around them, and because of that they can have an appreciation for the current day. Our group also talked about religious people wanting to be 'free from Sin' or free from circumstances that are perceivably negative within the context of their religion; while following the tenets of their religion, people commonly act in ways that produce happy feelings. Lastly, religious people tend to be happier, and members of our group agreed that the positiveness of the people around them and the type of social environment religious people are in contribute to their sense of happiness.

The Pats:

Religious people, due to their feelings of purpose are able to be grateful for the ordinary situations in their everyday lives, while the non-religious wait for big moments of gratitude (like getting married or graduating from college) to acknowledge their gifts.

I hope my tardiness in posting this response will only reflect poorly on me, and not on my group-mates.
